Three years ago, a Pennsylvania high school student was alleged to have spent $20 to launch a denial-of-service attack against local area schools. Today, she is still embroiled in a legal case to defend herself against two felony counts for the unlawful use of a communication device to disrupt computer functions (“Judge rejects claim by attorneys for former Franklin Regional student charged in cyberattack“). The former student recently lost a motion to exclude evidence in her case, claiming police improperly accessed her personal Google account, which she used at the school. The judge ruled that the search and seizure of her internet browsing history was supported by reasonable suspicion and the fact that she “abandoned any particular privacy interest she may have had in the information stored on her Google account by having it set to automatically log in.” The defendant remains free on a $10,000 unsecured bond. A date for her trial has not been scheduled. (In related news, the operator of the DDoS-for-hire service – Betabooter – allegedly used in this case just plead guilty to charges brought by the US Department of Justice.)
